Holy Cross vs Rhode Island Prediction

The Holy Cross Crusaders still have to figure things out roster-wise, and their inability to get stops defensively in their opener shows just how much work they have to do. The Rhode Island Rams didn’t have the toughest season opener, but they absolutely crushed it SU and ATS, and that’s a great sign for a team that couldn’t cover numbers last season. Rhode Island has experience from a year ago and is the best player on the floor. I’ll lay the points with the Rhode Island Rams.
